Re: Wheeler 9800

I went on a retro mtb group ride by the harbour yesterday






Klein was heavily represented




Pit stop at one of the Klein riders' place for a few beers, a quiz, and a weighing. My Wheeler weighed in at 10.4 kg. which was less than I had thought - only a kilo more than the red Klein Adroit.




I lost the quiz, and got a red Chris King top cap as a consolation prize

Nice bunch!
Is that a Bianchi amongst the Kleins ?

The green bike is a mystery frame, that the guy had recently painted and built up. Nice bike with the race face/XTR/Syncross kit.

Drinking wine, and listening to Queen while changing brake pads and adjusting gears - not at all a bad way to spend a Saturday evening

I'm really enjoying this, lots of details going step by step, and the bike looks great.

(Just the lock is, uh, won't help anything, but guess you just don't leave it anywhere.)
